FAA-S-8081-6D Flight Instructor Airplane Practical Test Standards
No full textMaterial in FAA-S-8081-6D will be effective December 1, 2012. All previous editions of Flight Instructor – Airplane Practical Test Standards will be obsolete as of this date. FAA-S-8081-6D (this page intentionally left blank) FAA-S-8081-6D Forward The Flight Instructor—Airplane Practical Test Standards book has been published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to establish the standards for the flight instructor certification practical tests for the airplane category and the single-engine and multiengine classes. FAA inspectors and designated pilot examiners shall conduct practical tests in compliance with these standards. Flight instructors and applicants should find these standards helpful in practical test preparation

Job Performance Aids for the Flight Standards Service
No full text Aviation Safety Inspectors make up the inspection team of the Flight Standards Service, which is responsible for enforcing the laws governing civil aviation. We are developing pen-computer-based job performance aids to assist the inspectors in their job duties. These aids provide inspectors with tools for data collection and on-line documentation. The tools eliminate redundant data recording, prevent errors, increase capabilities, and support quick retrieval of up-to-date regulatory information. </jats:p
CWPP minimum standards
No full textRev. 2009.Per Colorado Senate Bill 09-001, this publication is a description of the revised minimum standards and guidelines that counties should consider when developing Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPPs). The Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 required the Colorado State Forest Service to establish minimum standards for the development of CWPPs in Colorado
Effects of Music Tempos on Flight Performance
No full textTo date, research on how listening to music affects performance in high-cognitive demand environments has ranged from those working in information technology to everyday drivers. Some research asserts listening to music does have an effect on human task performance (whether positive or negative) and other research asserts there are no statistically significant effects. This research study focused on how varying music tempos affect pilot performance during certain flight maneuvers. With significant findings, measures could be taken to improve pilot, crew and passenger safety; however, no statistically significant results were found that listening to different music tempos had any effect on pilot performance
Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
No full textWhat are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
